- rabidsnail 16y agoAll modern virtual machines (that is ones that use VT or AMD-V) install kernel extensions. The part of kvm that you interact with is all userland.

- glhaynes 16y agoWhat is the difference between KVM and VMware? VMware is a proprietary product. KVM is Free Software released under the GPL. What is the difference between KVM and QEMU? QEMU uses emulation; KVM uses processor extensions (HVM) for virtualization. Perfect, thanks.
